>> the coast guard did talk to the people. they essentially do not want the coast guard's help at this point. >> reporter: but as the morning progressed, it became apparent why the people didn't want help. turns out the boat named "darling" was stolen from the yacht harbor. >> we just think somebody washed up but when we saw the cops drawing their guns, it was something else. >> reporter: police tried to persuade the suspects to give up, spectators lined the beach watching the unusual standoff unfold. >> there's four cops down here with handcuffs drawn. >> we've seen boats wash out but not with bad guys on them. they didn't sound like they were too nice either. >> reporter: with guns drawn from shore, police finally convinced the three suspects to surrender. rescuers on jet skis plucked two men and a woman, took them to shore where they were arrested.

>> jumping off the boat and we could see that they were unarmed. up until that point it was questionable what their intentions were. >> reporter: inside the boat state park rangers discovered the potential makings of a party. >> it looked like they had been stuck in the surf line for about six hours and everything had fallen off the shelves. there's a pizza box, some beer bottles. >> reporter: the owner watched ashore as his vessel tossed in the surf. salvage crews were hoping to take it to sea as soon as the tide rose. >> as nice as this boat may be, it's not designed to have to be towed like this. this is a pleasure craft not a tugboat. >> reporter: but for now this pleasure craft was at the mercy of the surf. joe row sato jr., nbc bay area news. police have identified the suspects, all in their 50s and 60s. they face possible charges of

grand theft and conspiracy. campbell police are investigating the city's first homicide in six years. an 18-year-old man shot and killed the family. police are searching for answers as the community prepares 0 to remember that young man. that shooting happening near the corner of west latimer and dunster drive, not far from the campbell shopping center. kris sanchez joins us with new details of what she learned. kris? >> reporter: hi there, jessica. people have stopped by to drop off flowers and mementoes, balloons for 18-year-old richard ve vega. tonight they will light candles in his honor at san a clara high school where he just graduated in june. his life full of promise, they say, and while they mourn him, campbell police are looking for clues and trying to track down the killer. the smile you see on richard vega's facebook profile picture is what his friends says he was known for. >> he was a funny guy. he always had a smile on his

face. he was friends with everyone at his school. >> reporter: 18-year-old richard vega was shot near dunster drive not far from where he lived with his family in campbell. though he was rushed to the hospital for surgery, he did not survive. as friends dropped off flowers, the news made no more sense today than yesterday. >> i was shocked, actually. i didn't know -- i think -- i was shocked. >> reporter: these pictures posted on sports world showed he played football. he graduated in june and was a student at the end of college. one of vega's former teachers says he was trying it to do something with his life. >> i can't imagine him being into a gang of drugs or anything else and he was just a really big kid, really nice young man. >> reporter: campbell police don't know the motive or who the shooter was but they used surveillance video talking with witnesses and looking for a dark colored sedan seen leaving the area.

they're hoping to solve vega's homicide, something they have not yet been able to do for the last homicide victim. in 2007 a gang member killed an innocent man, police say, he was mistaken for a rival gang member. the fact this was the first homicide since then does not take the sting off for 0 neighbo neighbors. >> as soon as the mom got the call. >> reporter: now the vigil honoring richard vega's life will get started at 7:30 tonight at santa clara high school just down the road. in the meantime campbell police say they want to talk to anyone who has information about how he died. kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. >> kris, thank you. four people across the bay area shot and killed in just 24 hours -- excuse me, just 27 hours over the weekend. it wasn't a deadly crime wave with criminals pulling the trigger. instead, it was police killing suspects. the spike in shootings has some people worried the cops are on edge. jodi hernandez is in hayward

this evening where one of the shootings took place. jodi? >> reporter: this is the latest officer involved shooting took place right here in this hayward parking lot. tonight police and civil rights attorneys agree the number of incidents has been unusually high but what they're at odds over is whether or not police officers are pulling their weapons unnecessarily. >> the police officers by and large don't want to use deadly force. they want to do anything but use deadly force. >> reporter: bay area police officers from four different cities use deadly force over the weekend, shooting and killing four suspects in a 27-hour period. attorney michael rain who represents all of the officers involved says each case was justified. >> we as lawyers have now looked at all of these shootings and we said legally speaking the officers were literally left with no alternative but to fire their weapons. >> i don't have memory of this many units in two days.

that's a lot. >> reporter: john burris says he is deeply troubled by the rash of deadly officer involved shootings, on the heels of the ambush killings of two santa cruz police officers, he questions whether police on a heightened sense of alert are overreacting. >> i'm concerned that you could have a rash of unnecessary police shootings where people are killed who should not be killed. >> reporter: police say their officer was left with no choice but to pull his weapon and fire at a suspect's car early yesterday morning when the driver tried to run the officer and his passenger over. >> what happens when it's a situation like this where there was no option. the driver was driving at him and there's no other type of force that's going to stop that. >> reporter: and while police admit the rash of killings is unusually high, they say it's the criminals that are at fault. >> they refuse to give up.

they refuse to surrender weapons. they refuse to stop their vehicles when ordered to do so and as a result people have died. officers are scarred by that. make no mistake about it. >> reporter: of course each of these cases will be closely scrutinized and reviewed by attorneys and internal affairs investigators, perhaps only then will we know if the number of incidents are a coincidence or part after growing trend. i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. the families of the two santa cruz police officers killed last week have released some family fphotos. loran "butch" baker and elizabeth bake wrer gunned down when they went to conduct a follow-up investigation at a home. this is baker with his family. his son part of the santa cruz police department. and this is butler seen here with her two young kids. she was a ten-year veteran police officer. a mick memorial for baker and butler will be held this thursday at noon at hp pavilion in san jose.

a boost to the force. they won't make up for the roughly 130 officers who retired or quit last year out of frustration over decreasing pay and benefits. >> this is a great start. it's only part of the equation. we need to retain the force that we have. we need to continue with our recruiting and with our academy graduates. >> reporter: if they pass inspection, in two weeks these recruits will be ready to hit the streets of san jose. these recruits will receive their badges on march 15th and then in the early fall a new academy helps san jose. we're live in san jose. i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. okay, damian, thank you. in an area nope for creating tech jobs, the bay area just got some big hiring news today from a company known for its smoothies. let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman with the job news. take it away, scott. >> reporter: no chips involved here, just drinks. it's java juice giving young job

inch. also the sierra snow. some of the biggest snow we have seen this year arriving as we head throughout tuesday and also wednesday. most of that happening up above 4,000 feet where we could see a foot or more anywhere near blue canyon, also to king veil. so be prepared for those winter conditions as we head throughout tuesday's forecast. otherwise, as you mentioned, cloudy for most of your day tomorrow. i don't think you need the umbrella until after 4:00 p.m. make it a stray shower on the coastline by 4:00 p.m. on tuesday but otherwise for the n interior valleys, it's going to be clouding up throughout the day with some cooler weather and temperatures in the upper 50s and also low 60s. so the storm day is tuesday. as we head throughout wednesday, a chance here for some scattered showers and thunderstorms and a few showers lingering on thursday. you can get more on your forecast anytime at nbcbayarea.com. i'm back throughout the show with are more. >> jeff, we'll see you shortly. stanford students are fighting back. the new school policy that has many undergrads outraged. >> a 911 operator's desperate

how safe are bay area bridges? the california department of transportation has released disturbing results from our bridge safety. the investigation was triggered by safety questions regarding the new span of the bay bridge. "the sacramento bee" is reporting the investigation revealed four state engineers changed or left out data or evidence of equipment failures on four freeway structures. one of those structures was the martinez bridge, two of the four engineers that are cited a still employed by caltrans. the director said the agency has changed its rules and policy to ensure integrity in the future. a bill was introduced last month

that would require independent oversight. bakersfield police are conducting an investigation into the death of the retirement home. they're looking into whether there was any criminal wrongdoing in the way a nurse responded when a resident collapsed. that nurse refusing to perform cpr and her refusal captured on 911 tapes. >> i understand if your boss is telling you you can't do it, but, if there's any -- as a human being, i don't -- you know, is there anybody that's willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >> it started when an 87-year-old woman, lorraine, suddenly collapsed at that nursing home, glenwood gardens. the nurse called 911 but since employees are not allowed to perform cpr the nurse refused to give cpr to her. an ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. the retirement home is defending the nurse saying she correctly followed protocol. however, the home says it will conduct a auththorough internal

review. >> more than an issue for children, the potentially lifelong impact of a.d.d. >> massive government cuts are already being felt across the nation. now some relief on gas prices as california gears up for its next gas tax. we find out if it gas prices may not be the fault of gas companies or even traders for that matter. but their own legislators up next. ♪

secondhand smoke affects everyone's health. it's not just irritating. it can cause heart disease and even death. speak up about secondhand smoke. your health and the health of your family depend on it.

okay. there are a few drivers that would design a california gas prices are simply maddening. >> what if california doesn't have to lead the nation in gas prices, even with our strict environmental standards and high taxes? in tonight's reality check sam brock looks into whether or not state lawmakers are contributing to the problem and not the solution. sam? >> reporter: raj, good evening. in a few months california's ex size tax on gasoline is set to rise by 3.5 cents. and, you know, that got us thinking between high taxes and

these special blends here in california, is sacramento actually guilty of helping to create a price crisis in this state? and you might think it's the oil companies driving up our prices but our own legislators are partly to blame. in a perfect world we'd all drive one of these and gas prices wouldn't even enter into our consumer calculus. but as it stands california has the most expensive gasoline in the continental u.s. does it have to be this way? >> i don't see any logical reason why there should be higher prices in california than the rest of the nation. so my guess is some people make a lot of money off this. >> reporter: before you go blaming the oil industry for making money hand over foot, let's look at what role the state is play iing in your high prices. sure there's the whole tax argument as this chart demonstrates california is nearly tops in the country in gas taxes, and it could head the list by this summer. but that's not even the primary driver of our higher gas prices.

>> this is a thin market where there's not a lot of competitors to supply the product and that is kind of endemic to the fact that we have this higher quality blend that not many other states have. >> reporter: california's unique gasoline blend required by law to emit fewer pollutants than burned in other states could only be produced in a limited number of refineries and according to stanford energy expert about four companies own nearly 70% of the refinding capacity in california. so they effectively control supply and price. but he says the state is not helpless to control prices if lawmakers would just make some adjustments. for example, letting gasoline retailers lock down lower prices months in advance instead of buying right before delivery. you might compare it to buying a

ticket ahead of time. >> you don't show up and buy a ticket the day you fly. you may not be able to buy. that would be an infinite price for the ticket. future contracts is only one tool lawmakers have to lower prices lending strength to the idea california has manufactured or at least partly manufactured a price crisis. another option that the professor suggests, allow california to buy gas from other states if the price difference between gas in our state and a neighboring one gets too extreme. now, again, these are proposals but they suggest consumers in the state should not have to pinch pennies just to pay for gas. it's time for sacramento lawmakers to help out. i'm sam brock. that's today's reality check. just days into the sequestration, the obama a administration says the effect of spending cuts are already being felt at the airports. security lines are longer with fewer tsa and u.s. customs agents and overtime is all but

eliminated. in the fall schools could suffer teacher layoffs. president obama hopes the sequester will pressure republicans into a tax hike on the rich with gop lawmakers say that's not likely. >> eventually a lot of people are going to feel some pain. that's why we've got to keep on working to reduce our deficit in a balanced way. >> i think the president miscalculated and thought sooner or later we would agree to revenues in this case and that's never been in the cards. >> a measure that would extend a pay freeze for federal employees including congress and would ensure undocumented immigrants are not released. it provides funding for embassy security. a pub llicity stunt, that's what the white house is calling dennis rodman's trip to north korea. they say north korea should focus on the well-being of its people instead of hosting celebrity basketball players.

relations remain tense. the country launched a nuclear test today before president obama's state of the union address last month. rodman visited as part of an hbo basketball documentary. he dined with kim jung-un. >> we still don't know when the cardinals will begin the process of choosing the church's next pope. all 115 cardinal electors must be in rome for the conclave. about a dozen have yet to arrive. the vatican says it expects all of them to be there by tomorrow afternoon. he is staying put for now. the man accused of shooting and killing an oakland rapper and causing a fiery crash on the vegas strip faced a judge in los angeles for the first time today. 26-year-old mark harris was arrested in l.a. a week ago. this morning he was scheduled for an extradition hearing but that hearing was postponed. that's because harris exercised his right to an identity hearing

that will require prosecutors to prove he's the person wanted by cops in nevada. harris will be back in court in ten days. among those who vowed to also be back, a brother of one of the victims. >> trying to understand how we are supposed to move on and how his grandson is going to cope with this loss. my brother, michael, was the best big brother anybody could have. he was our whole neighborhood big brother. >> police say harris, the self-professed pimp shot and killed cherry who was in a maserati, a sports car that slammed into a taxi sparking an explosion that killed a cabby and his passenger. the los gatos town council will vote on a moratorium about new gun stores. templar opened just a few days after the newtown school shoot ing in connecticut.

many were upset that the store opened without a public debate. protests forced the town council to address the issue. if the emergency moratorium is a approved tonight, it will apply retroactively to templar sports. the meeting begins at 7:00 in the council chambers. tonight we're learning the identi identity of the triathlete who died in this weekend's escape from alcatraz race. the 46-year-old, an attorney from austin, texas, died just one minute after jumping into the san francisco bay right at the start of the race. officials say he had a heart attack. however, the medical examiner's office hasn't issued a cause of death. the water was 51 degrees sunday. cooler than normal because the race was held earlier than usual to accommodate america's cup races which take place in the summer when this race normally happens. the 63-year-old competitor died back in 2008 after the swimming portion of the race. an investigation is under way into the death of an inmate at the marin county jail.

he was found unresponsive. cpr attempts by jail personnel and paramedics failed to revive him and he was then pronounced dead. his name has not yet been released or a cause of death. >> a fire has destroyed a south bay landmark overnight. the happy restaurant went up in flames. the family owned hot dog restaurant is a fixture that's been there for 42 years. the owner is very optimistic vowing to reopen within just a few months. the fire started an an outside utility closet. still ahead at 6:00, forcing major league baseball's hand to bring the a's to san jose. and something unusual is coming to the bay area at least lately. that is rainfall. we are tracking that next storm. it's dry right now on the satellite radar picture. this winter storm expected to be strong enough to produce this winter storm warning. details on how much snow we could pick up in the full forecast coming up.

it's quite a sight to see. tomorrow is the big day or we should say the big night, the bay bridge lights project offici officially makes its debut. 25,000 l.e.d. lights will shimmer on the western span. unofficially happening the last couple of weeks he the lights will form patterns meant to mimic rain, the flow of water, traffic, lights, and a lot more. the bridge will light up every night beginning tomorrow from dusk until 2:00 a.m. for the next two years. well, there's a new plan to bring the a's to the south bay. san jose city councilmember wants to sue the san francisco giants. they continue to claim territorial rights to the south bay and have used that claim to

block the a's move. the district includes most of the proposed downtown ballpark property says the suit would not cost taxpayers a dime. they will take on the case on a contingency basis. most classes at stanford are offered between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. sounds pretty good until you have some scheduling trouble. around 7,000 undergrads go to stanford. the university, the registrar says every quarter more than 1,000 have enrollment conflicts. stanford is considering spreading out class times which means some classes will start earlier than 8:30 a.m. which would be tough for many undergrads. 1,700 students are against the idea. they have signed an online petition saying the changes will negatively impact student life. >> oh, come on. >> they will discuss the proposal on march 7th. >> they don't party at stanford, do they? come on. >> i think i had classes at 6:00 a.m. >> you can't party at stanford. >> university of florida -- you're a good student.

in health matters tonight, it's not just the childhood behavioral problem. a new study shows kids with adhd could grow up to have serious psychological problems. researchers published their findings in the journal "pediatrics" and found 60% of young adhd patients had at least one psychiatric as an adult, the most common being alcohol or substance abuse, anxiety and depression compared to 35% of the people in a comparison group who did not have the disorder while growing up. researchers say the study confirms adhd is a chronic lifetime disorder for many people.

doctors say a baby born with the hiv infection has been cured of the virus. it's the first documented case of a child being cured. tonight nbc bay area's marianne favro takes a closer look at the treatment that child received and what the development may mean to those now living with hiv. >> reporter: at children's hospital in jackson, mi mississippi, dr. hannah gate decided to treat a baby with three new hiv drugs three hours after she was born. and before official lab tests could confirm that the child was infected with hiv. dr. gates said she made a decision not to wait because the baby's hiv-infected mother had not received any prenatal care. then, a year and a half later, she learned the baby had been taken off what should have been long-term treatment. >> at that point the mom admitted that she had not been

using the medicine for the past several months and i fully expected the baby to have gone back up. >> reporter: but the doctor said she was shocked when the baby had no signs of the virus. several more lab tests found no trace of hiv. experts are calling this a functional cure and suspect the early treatment left no time for the virus to hide out in the body. that early treatment hours after birth is now being considered for babies at high risk of being born with hiv. at silicon valley pediatricians in san jose, christine says while the approach may help the 130 babies born in the u.s. every year who have hiv passed on during pregnancy, the single case will not likely help people living with hiv now. >> but i would hesitate to say that anyone with hiv today can take news of one child in their infancy period could, therefore, become cleared of the virus. >> reporter: surprisingly the little girl's viral loads were still undetectable a year after

treatment. a treatment that would normally be prescribed for years. however, despite this new development, doctors warn strongly against taking your child off any medication until you've consulted with your doctor. more study is needed but this case is sure to inspire more res research to help babies born with hiv. in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. we've needed the rain and it's about to arrive. >> i couldn't be happier. some of you on our facebook saying you don't want the rain because your flowers bloomed early. we're going to get the rain and wind tomorrow and there go some of the flowers. we'll see what we can do with that storm system tomorrow. the radar dry up across the sierra. we are looking at a winter storm warning out ahead of the system until 7:00 on wednesday morning where we could have upwards after foot of snow. there has not been this much snow in one storm, i think only but one other time in 2013.
